Ashley Newman Photography {Tuscaloosa, AL}

Blink and you just might miss it...Renea came to me for pictures of her children. I'm always up for the challenge of chasing babies around, but her babies are growing up and it was time to update the family pictures.

She asked me to meet them at their second home- Cypress Inn. This place holds so much history in it's walls...so many others have enjoyed time with family, special meals and events, weddings and celebrations. Renea has worked tirelessly for her dream, bringing her children along with her. I imagine the long nights, the early mornings. The pitter patter of her children's feet echoing the halls of the restaurant when no one else is around. Now, as they are getting older and spreading their wings, we walk the property with a familiarity only family would have. An intimacy of the grounds...This time is so important. Find the beauty and importance in the life you live and the places and people you choose to live it with. "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."- E. E. Cummings
